[BUG] remote-control does not work with setup-token (needs user:sessions:claude_code scope)

What's Wrong?

When attempting to use /remote-control with claude code authenticated via a setup-token, the following error is received:

OAuth token does not meet scope requirement user:sessions:claude_code

This has been reported twice (1, 2) but both tickets were auto-closed, and yet the issue remains.

This is a legitimate use-case. I want to run remote-control in a remote/ephemeral environment a setup-token is appropriate for that.

What Should Happen?

/remote-control should work when claude is authenticated via a setup-token

Error Messages/Logs

OAuth token does not meet scope requirement user:sessions:claude_code
